any reduction in the tariff on Wood
River ores were concerned none
would likely be made. This was
not said in so many words, but
from his remarks on the subject it
can fairly be surmised that it was
what he meant. 1t will, under the
existing circumstances, be uphill
wore to attempt to secure any re-
duction on ore freights. 1t may be
that concerted action on the part
of all the mine owners and Others
directly interested, and plain
statement of the facts presented to
Manager Potter will bring about
the desired reduction, but unless
all join in taking hand in the
matter the effort to secure more
reasonable rates will prove futile.

THE PRESENT ORE RATE,

A meeting Of mine owners and
others Interested in mining affairs
was to have been held at Haley on
last Monday afternoon, but for a
variety of reasons stated there was
not sufficient attendance present
and the proposed meeting was
abandoned. A number of those in
tending to be present were unavoid-
ably absent, and the further fact
that it was bruited about that the
object of the meeting was to discuss
the project of cutting down wages
kept many who are not in sympa-
thy with any such movement away.
1t was given out that the main
object of the meeting was to discuss
the present freight tariff on ores
and to make IA united effort to Sc
cure relief in such direction. A,
the present time the tariff on ore:
shipped to Omaha is twenty dol
lars per ton in car load lots, Will,
the bullion rate is five dollars less
Why this discrimination is mad,

Union Pacific Company to explain

BETTER SERVICES DEMANDED.

Under the new time schedule,
which went into effect on the Branch
line on Monday last, the train is
now due at Ketchum at 5: 20 p. NJ.
The first day of the change it ar
rived just three hours late and dur
ing the week kept up go-as-you-
please style of running. The fast
time service will be a great accom-
mediation to the travel over the
Short Line, but under the existing
condition of affairs the manner-in
which the service over the Branch
is arranged it is an unmitigated
nuisance. In making a claim for
better service the residents of Belle
vue, Haley and Ketchum ask no
more than what they are justly en-
titled to. A freight train should
be run independent so that the
north-bound passenger train could
bring the passengers and mails
without any great detention at Sho-
shone and remain over night at
Ketchum, leaving here the follow
ing morning in time to connect
with the east-bound or Omaha ex-
press. This would not only be
great convenience but would in
crease local travel over the road.
Certainly the people have a right
to expect as fair consideration as
bestowed on the towns along the
main line. The business that is
transacted at the ketchum depot
alone more than equals that of all
the towns in Idaho from Shoshone
to the western terminus, and this, in
addition to the business of HALEY
and Bellevue, entities the people to
a growl when the railway service
is conducted without any regard to
their convenience. A remonstrance
setting forth the manifest injustice
of the present service and asking
that change be made Immediately
may possibly have the desired
effect. 1t should be signed by all
the business men and others living
in the three towns and sent to
Manager Potter.

Eager to Begin His Work.

William O'Brien wasted no time in New
York. He appeared to be in a hurry to
begin his attack on Lord Lansdowne, and
so started at once for Montreal as soon as
he reached New York He did not have a
very pleasant voyage. There were a good
many loyalists on the steamship and they
took pleasure in making him uncomfortable
However, he will do his best to even up
things when he gets fairly at work in Can
ada
Doubtless Lord Lansdowne regards his
coming with a good deal of uneasiness
Lord Lansdowne is very susceptible to criti-
cism, and the speeches of O'Brien will make
life burden to him. However, if all the
stories told of him are true, he deserves all
| the harsh things O'Brien is likely to say of
him. His estate is in the county of Kerry,
| Ireland. In fact, it comprises pretty much
all of that county. There are %, 900 tenants
| upon it, and the most of them are mserablv
poor. OF course landlord ought to have
his rents when they are reasonable,
| but it is alleged that the rents
which Lord Lansdowne demands are
| greater than his tenants can pay. 1t may
| be said that if they can't pay the rents they
ought to give up their holdings, but where
are they to goa Being about on the edge OF
starvation all the time, and having lived

1t Cheered Him Up.
From, the Detroit Free Press.


Side by side in the waiting room of the Third
street passenger station yesterday sat ner-
vous little woman and a tall, melancholy man.
The woman had boy about years of age, who
seemed to be possessed of an evil spirit and
wouldn't sit nor stand still He didn't want
apples nor candy, He couldn't be coaxed nor
brbed to behave himself, and his kicking and
whining seemed to wear the little woman out
The melancholy man stood it for awhile but
finally felt called upon TO observe:
Madam, | know what that child is aching
for"
"Yes. so do l." she promptly answered, ''but
I've a boil on my right arm"
I'm take the job of your hands If you say so.
It's sumthin' I've been in the habit Of doing al.
most every day of my life, for I've had three
wives and three sets of children"
The boy set up an extra howl, and began
kicking her Sims just then, and she looked
around in helpless way and said:
well, you may try. Not too vigorous, but
just vigorous enough"
He reached over and picked the child IN and
laid him across his knee, and the spanking ma.
chine started off at about forty revolutions O
minute and worked to charm.

he Strengthened the boy up and sat him down
That's better than all the candy and peanuts
in the country, and you'll behave yourself for
the next three days.

man replied:

Edwin Booths Speech.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
Mr.. Booth is most retiring and timid man
about society. He is the only actor | ever met
who is embarrassed at a compliment. Most &C
tors, when you tell them how well they do, i'm
mediatey proceed to explain to you that they
are really greater actors than you think they
are. Mr.. Booth seems to be possessed of the
unique conviction that Shakespeare meant what
he wrote and one of his main breads is by the
man who wants to know whether Hamlet was
really insane or only feigning He was speak
ing of his reception at the Baldwin on the first
night. ~
You saw my reception on Monday night, he
said, and II couldn't have said Thank you
before that curtain"
He confessed to making one speech, but the
result was not very encouraging. Some years
ago he went with his company to place to play
one night. He had been specially requested not
to play Hamlet, as the people had seen him
in that the year before and they wanted some
thing else When they assembled at the theatre
they found the baggage had gone astray and the
costumes for "Richelieu" had not arrived.
They must play something else, and the only
thing they could do was to make up a bill of a
farce and three acts of Hamlet" which were
easiest to put on Mr.. Booth went out before
the curtain and made a little speech.
''They listened to me, - he said, land when

Hawlev Coming to the Front.

Although Blaine is the most popular man
in the Republican party, indications are
! cropping out which justify doubt whether
he will be its Presidential candidate in 1888.
The belief is gaining ground among the Re
| publican leaders that he cannot be elected,
and they don't want a standard bearer
whose success is doubtful. He has done
nothing to increase his popularity since
| 1884. He hasn't spoken a word that has
tended to draw public attention to himself,
and has advocated no policy that promises
to help his party to victory. What
reasons therefore are there for think
ing that he would be stronger candi-
date in 1888 than he was in 1892 There
isn't a single reason, and his strongest
friends will not insist that there is.
The very fact that he has been beaten once
will weigh against him if he is a candidate
again. If the Republican party had new
issue, or if the people had any fault to find
with the way the Democratic party has
managed the government there might be
some chance for him, but the party has no
new issue, and the country is very well
satisfied with Mr.. Clevelands administra-
ton.
This being the condition of affairs, it is
natural that the Republican leaders should
think seriously of making their Presidential
ticket out of entirely new material. 1t is
noticeable that the name of Senator Hawley,
of Connecticut, is mentioned very frequently
for either the first or second place. While
he cannot be considered Blaine's equal in
point of ability, he is certainly his superior
in all other respects. He has an honorable war
record, and his career in Congress is without
blemish. He has the reputation of being
clean-handed, pure-hearted gentleman
with decision of character enough to admin
lister respectfully any office within the gift
of the people. He is not cold and calculat-
ing as Sherman is, nor has he ever been
caught in any doubtful transactions as
Blaine has. He is widely known and is
popular wherever known Why shouldn't
the Republicans prefer him to Blaine?
There isn't much chance for the election
! of any Republican, but there is a better
chance for one of high character than for
one whose character cannot stand the test of
q close scrutiny. As the time for choosing
candidates approaches it is probable that
the attention of the Republican leaders will
be turned more and more toward Senator
Hawley. If he is nominated he will not
have to occupy the most of his time during
the canvass in trying to defend his reputa-
ton, and that fact ought to go long way
| toward recommending him to his party
| in view of its experience in 1884.
